30 Days of Thanksgiving 15/30

Yikes I'm 3 days late. Don't really have an excuse except that I was feeling lazy and forgot hehe.

Over the weekend, we did our laundry. 5 loads worth! For the first time in months, our cupboards are bursting with clean clothes and linens, and our laundry bin is empty. I threw in a pair of pants on Monday and realised I forgot to empty my pockets, and had to bend down to reach inside the laundry bin. A rare occassion!

So I'm thankful that we do not have an overflowing pile of clothes that need washing, which means we can relax for a couple of weeks. Hehehehe.

30 Days of Thanksgiving - 14/30

Met my parents this evening to catch Interstellar at the Shaw Lido IMAX. So exciting!

IMAX is one of the things that +3 introduced me to when we first started hanging out a couple of years back, and we've always enjoyed watching movies together. The first movie we caught together at IMAX was Life of Pi (the first movie we watched together was The Perks of Being a Wallflower).

I'm glad we managed to introduce this to the parents, although my dad wasn't all that impressed. "The screen is only a little bit bigger mah, and the sound is so loud. Anyone with a weak heart can get a heart attack." Lol.

So today, I am thankful for new experiences for me and my family. May we never stop trying new things!

Eeks I'm late! Forgot to do a post yesterday because I had a busy day. Work has been piling up and I rushed off to meet Summer for a quick catch up before going for my extraction facial.

I'm thankful for a good week at work. Despite it being my peak period, work on my big event started earlier than we did last year, so everyone has a bit more breathing space and it shows. Meetings with my vendors are more relaxed and everyone seems to be in a good mood because they don't have to rush as much.

I'm also thankful for friends like Summer, who I got to know in my very first job way back in 2003! Although we don't hang out as much as we used to, it's nice to catch up once in a while. Scary how quickly time flies. When I first met her, her kids were only in Primary school and now they are in Uni!

Happy Weekend!

30 Days of Thanksgiving - 12/30

Had dinner at home this evening. Met my mom at Compass Point, and she was thinking of getting a pair of earrings for me for my wedding. She was going to have dinner with some girlfriends, so +3 and I headed back after she had shown us off to her friends. Hehe.

Dinner at home was good, as usual. Nanny made mee hoon kueh, and we bought a couple of tubs of ice cream from Island Creamery, which we had with laopa after our meal.

The mood at home was happy and relaxing and all of us just chatted the night away. Mom came back and we continued talking about random things.

At some point, I asked the parents if theu wanted to watch a movie. See, my mom is game to go out and have dinner but she isn't a big movie fan, especially if it's a horror or suspense flick. Dad is generally anti social and prefers to stay at home.

To my surprise, they both agreed to watch Interstellar at the IMAX theatre at Lido on Saturday night! Waaah after all these years of asking them out, they finally said yes! I whipped out my credit card and made the booking on the spot. Hehe.

So today, I am thankful that my parents agreed to watch a movie with us. I'm always glad to spend time with them.

My mom sent my sis a text this morning, saying that she had run out of a certain tea that she bought when she was in the US. She couldn't find that same tea in the supermarkets, so asked my sis to give me info so I could buy it online.

Thankfully, iHerb sold the tea my mom was looking for. I was also planning to get more essential oils to make poo spray, so added these items (plus a few more other stuff) to my cart and checked out.

I love that you can get a large variety of stuff on iHerb. And I was lucky enough to get a lifetime VIP membership when there was a promotion earlier this year. So all purchases I make on iHerb are discounted! Yippie!

Yummy is also sharing the account with (you can save a few shipping addresses and billing information), so I'm glad to be able to share these savings with her. Every cent saved adds up!

So today, I'm thankful to iHerb for stocking up on so different things and making it so easy to shop there.

30 Days of Thanksgiving - 10/30

Aaaand it's December! I'm thankful for this whirlwind of a year, which was full of amazing life changes. Bought a house, travelled to London and Scotland, got engaged... and there is still one more month to the end of the year!

I'm thankful for all the good and the bad that has happened this year, and for all the changes in various aspects of my life. While some changes were painful, they were absolutely necessary and I've come out all the stronger.

Here's to having a fantastic December!

30 Days of Thanksgiving - 9/30

Will do a quick and short post today. I'm thankful for my life. For all the ups and downs that make me who I am today.  Sure, it's easy to wish for a better life, but the chances of that happening are about the same as getting a shitty lot too.

I'm trying to make my life a good one, to leave a positive impact on the people around me. Doing the best I can to be a good citizen of this world!
